Solar Eclipse 2023: All you need to know about the ‘ring of fire’

The eclipse will be visible from some parts of North America, starting in Oregon at 9:13 am (PDT) and ending in Texas at 12:03 pm (CDT), according to NASA.

According to reports, the ring of fire will be visible from Oregon to Texas, crossing the USA, and further passing over Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, parts of Central America, and South America from Alaska to Argentina.

This eclipse is the first of its kind visible from the United States since 2012. The next one will be visible from the US on June 21, 2039.

No, the eclipse won’t be visible in India. It will exclusively be visible in the Western Hemisphere.

According to Space.com, on Saturday morning, a weakening cold front will stretch from Oregon to northern California, causing cloudy conditions in Washington, Oregon, western Idaho, parts of Nevada, and northern California. This cloud cover might obstruct views of the solar eclipse in places like Eugene, Medford and Alturas.

Further along the eclipse path in Nevada, Utah, northeast Arizona, and New Mexico, there will be clouds, but they are expected to be thinner and may allow views of the sun, albeit with a slightly hazy sky. Cities like Winnemucca, Elko, Richfield, Albuquerque, and Santa Fe are within this path.

Southern and southwestern Texas near the Mexican border might experience cloud cover due to a stalled weather front, potentially affecting places like Del Rio, Uvalde and San Antonio.

The clearest views, with the fewest clouds, are anticipated over southeast New Mexico, northwest Texas and the southern Gulf Coast of Texas, including cities like Carlsbad, Hobbs, Midland, Odessa, and Corpus Christi.
